IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door—
Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The
wall oven is vented at the upper control panel
or at the center trim depending of the model.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the wall
oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also,
do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near
the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp
the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not
let pot holders contact the hot oven element or
interior of the oven. Remove all utensils from
the rack before removing rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom
with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the
power to the appliance before removing and
replacing the bulb.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and
aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
SELF-CLEANING WALL OVEN MODELS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of
the appliance listed in this Owner’s Guide. Before
using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance,
remove all utensils stored in the appliance.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the appliance.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV
as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time setting elapses and add time accordingly.
ABOUT FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid
off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir
food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The
container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing
liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the
container from the microwave oven, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after
the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in
narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even if
the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage to your microwave oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside
of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of
the dish to the outside.
• Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a “0”

Microwave Oven Important Information (continued)
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe
temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to
the microwave oven when accessories are used.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the
same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
DO NOT USE
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
ABOUT SAFETY
THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat
from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin
burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away
from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven
so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture’s recommended
temperatures.
160°F
165°F
170°F
175°F
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use
can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow
plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because
heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember
to slit bag so steam can escape.
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or
cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe

Microwave Manual Operation
TIME COOKING
MANUAL DEFROST
Your Microwave Oven can be programmed up to 99
minutes 59 seconds (99.59). Always enter the seconds after
the minutes, even if they are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount”
column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure
found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and
lower your power level to 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the
end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1
minute increments on power level 30 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.

oven door during this part of the cycle. The measurement
of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error
message will appear. To continue cooking, press the
STOP pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on
the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as
desired.
NOTES
The final result will vary according to the food condition
(e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for
temperature after heating. If additional time is needed,
continue to heat manually.
This mode can be programmed with More or less time
adjustment by touching the power level pad once or twice
before touching START pad.
7. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor
properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be
displayed.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
COVERING FOODS
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the food charts.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.

MEAT PROBE
Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most
effective way of ensuring that your food has been properly
cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry
you can use the probe to check the internal temperature
without any guesswork.
See the example below to set the probe target temperature
to 180°F/82°C when using the convection roast feature with
oven set temperature for 325°F/162°C.
1. Insert the probe into the food and place the food into
the oven -Fig. 1-.
2. Plug the probe COMPLETELY into the probe receptacle
inside the oven -Fig. 2- and close the oven door.
3. Press CONV ROAST
4. Enter 325
5. Press START
6. Press MEAT PROBE
7. Enter 180
8. Press START
At this time, the actual meat probe temperature will be
displayed.
* You may skip step 7 if you choose to use the default
internal target temperature of 170°F for the probe.
Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep
warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe
function:
• Default: 170°F / 76°C
• Minimum: 130°F / 54°C
• Maximum: 210°F / 99°C
Proper probe placement
• Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe
to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.
By the default, your oven will adjust to the Warm & Hold
setting once the probe has reached the set temperature.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as
meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of
the food. To find the center of the food visually measure
with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the
probe just above the gill.
IMPORTANT
• Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other
may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.
• Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe
receptacle. The probe will not work properly until
correctly connected.
• Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing
it from the food and the receptacle.
• Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or
removing it from the food or the receptacle.
• Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe
to avoid damaging probe.
• Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not
in use.
• To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the
probe using a pot holder.
• For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the
thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-.
Fig. 1
NOTE
• When the meat probe is connected to the receptacle and
a cooking function is started, the display will show the
current temperature reported by the meat probe.
• Any time during the cooking process you may press MEAT
PROBE to modify the target temperature.

For best results
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food items.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. The more heat that is lost, the
longer the food will need to cook.
• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or
vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.
Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content,
bone & the shape of the roast.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary.

Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle
BEFORE STARTING SELF-CLEAN
WARNING
A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans with high
temperatures that are well above those used for normal
cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soils completely
or reduces them to a fine powdered ash that you can later
easily wipe away with a damp cloth.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the appliance can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance.
CAUTION
Adhere to the following precautions when running the selfclean cycle:
• DO NOT line the oven walls, oven racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so
will stop heat distribution, produce poor baking results
and cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of
the oven manually.
• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or
around the oven interior.
• DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the door after the self-clean cycle is finished. The oven
may still be VERY HOT.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material
of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
-Fig. 1-
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
appliance. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the door gasket.
Leaving chemical residue can damage the door gasket.
• Do not force the oven door open. The automatic door
locking system can be damaged.
• Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the
oven. These items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures.
DO Hand
Clean Frame
• This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It
is important that the sides of the oven racks always have
a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.
Fig. 1
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
DO Hand
Clean Door
DO NOT Hand
Clean Oven Door
Gasket
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom with soap and water. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to
temperatures much higher than those used in normal
cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are
normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being
removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the porcelain surface, they may leave
a dull spot even after cleaning.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they
may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This
is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available,
use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
35
Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
The FLEX CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature.
When used with a Delay Start pad, a delayed Self-Cleaning
cycle may also be programmed. The Flex Clean feature
allows for any Self-Cleaning cycle time from 2 (2:00) to 4
hours (4:00). You may also choose the clean time in 1 minute
increments (for example 2 hours and 50 minutes) by pressing
the corresponding number keypads.
CAUTION
• To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven
door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam
to escape.
• DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean
cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and
the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours
to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils,
a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy
soils (to assure satisfactory results).
NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR,
and the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer displayed, the
oven door can then be opened.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning
cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1. Press STOP.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1
HOUR, and the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer
displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
See example below to start an immediate Self-Cleaning
cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o’clock and shutoff automatically (example provided is a default 3 hour
Self-Clean cycle)
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the
oven is EMPTY and the oven door is closed.
2. Press FLEX CLEAN.
The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period
(default self-cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 or 4 hour
clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 for 2 hour or press 4 0
0 for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based
on the amount of soil: light, medium or heavy (*See
above).
3. Press START.
As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door
lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door
has been locked the “DOOR LOCKED” indicator light
will stop flashing and remain on.
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed,
finish steps 4-6.
4. Press DELAY START.
5. Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the
number pads 9 0 0.
6. Press START.
The control will calculate forward from the set start time
to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end.
The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the
set time.
NOTE (30” model only)
A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the
smoke into a colorless vapor.
IMPORTANT
If a self-clean cycle was started but did not finish due to a
power failure, your oven may not be completely cleaned.
After power has been restored and the oven door has
unlocked, set for another self-clean if needed.
36
Microwave General Care & Cleaning
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
Waveguide Cover
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or
abrasive cleaner.
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven
performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food
spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after
they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke
or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To
remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1
lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring
cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set
in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the Microwave
Oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth
dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do
not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door
and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks
The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed
for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for
stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive
scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top
rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will
cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not
cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills
occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or
spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of
spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with
a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR
HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil,
use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot
water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed
and dried. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
37
Lower Oven General Care & Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND
HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE EXTENT AND DIFFICULTY OF
MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
insert (if equipped)
Door liner & body parts
Oven racks
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a
damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry
with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating.
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the
oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the
racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating
of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack
becomes difficult to slide.
For some models with chrome oven racks, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Oven door
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do
not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner
to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh
abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

gasket should always clean during the Self-clean cycle.
The lower oven light bulbs are located on both side of the
oven cavity and both are covered with a glass shield. The
glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
Replacing the lower oven interior light bulbs:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the appliance.
2. Remove lower oven interior light shield as illustrated
below.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt Halogen
appliance bulb. Please note: do not allow your fingers to
touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the
life of the new bulb. Use a paper towel to cover the new
bulb when installing.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the appliance back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset.

OVEN BAKING
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to
preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.

Solutions to Common Problems
OCCURRENCE
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Self-cleaning cycle does not
work
• Make sure the oven door is closed.
• Make sure you have removed the oven racks and the oven rack supports from
the oven.
• Controls not set properly. Follow instructions under “Dual Convection Lower
Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle”.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or
large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers
before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see “Broil” in the
Lower Oven Operating Instructions section.

Lower Oven
Soil not completely removed

Oven smokes excessively during

example F10)
Poor baking results
• Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside
oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough
to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.
Burned on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon
scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.
• Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Lower Oven
Operating Instructions.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for
searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid
on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan
(some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the
display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error
repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower
the appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature
again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
• Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is
used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow
the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe’s recommended temperature or baking time. If you
feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting Oven Temperature” in the User
Preferences section of this Use & Care Guide.
